CheapGeek stupid hurricane tip.

Here's a hurricane preparedness tip.
Freeze gallon jugs of fresh water.
Keep the frozen gallon jugs of water in your freezer and in the refrigerator. They'll help to keep your freezer and refrigerator cold. If you lose power for a day or two, the jugs of water will keep your food fresh. During hurricane isabel, I was able to keep my food fresh for the 3 days I was without power. The water will also be ready for traveling, drinking, and for flushing water, bathing or whatever. If you plan on evacuation, you can leave it in the refrigerator to (hopefully) keep food fresh. Your refrigerators act as a large cooler when they aren't running. Frozen water jugs are your bags of ice.. I plan on 6 gallons..... Having a first and is also useful...
